§ 19483 Multiple Track Ownership Prohibition

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't own or run two horse racing tracks at the same time in the same state.
  • •If one company owns part of another company that runs a track, that counts as having a financial interest.
  • •The board can make exceptions if they think it's better for horse racing.

Example

If you own a horse racing track in Los Angeles and try to buy another one in San Diego, the state might say no.

The law says you can't own two tracks at once unless the board says it's okay. This stops one person from controlling too much of the horse racing business.

§ 19483 Multiple Track Ownership Prohibition

Unless the board finds that the purpose of this chapter will be better served thereby, no license to conduct a horseracing meeting at any track shall be issued to any person or held by any person having any financial interest in the conduct of any horseracing meeting by any other person at any other track in this State. Ownership of stock in one corporation by another corporation constitutes a financial interest within the meaning of this section. (Amended by Stats. 1963, Ch. 2059.)
